Post in Visions, Philosophies, Directions: The Future of Couchsurfin'

Hello!

I am just posted a survey on the subject of travel and transformation and would be so happy if you would take the 10 minutes to participate in my graduate research project. The survey can be accessed through this link:

Below is more information about my research and myself.

I am very happy CSer (since 2004) who is currently

embroiled in her mixed methods- both qualitative and quantitative- graduate research for my Masters in Integral Theory. I am studying Integral Pscyhology at JfK University in the SF Bay Area, California, USA. I am exploring the art and practice of "Conscious Journeying: transforming through travel and traveling through transformation." I am fascinated by the unique and diverse experiences of transformation as they are promoted, enabled or inspired through travel and feel that Couchsurfing has always been a great organization and service that not only cultivates individual but also collective and institutional transformation as well. Thus, I am intending to do my organizational portion of the research on the Couchsurfing Global Initiative and its sustainability, popularity and efficacy. Right now, I am approaching my intersubjective/ interpersonal portion of my research project. This involves interviews and an ethnographic exploration of the idea of journeying itself. I am looking for travelers or journeyers interested in being possible interview subjects for my research. I will also be posting this query in the Group/ Chats but wanted to see if any of the management would be interested in possibly speaking with me as well. These short interviews can be conducted online and will be recorded, transcribed and finally coded to uncover general themes on the subject of my topic, conscious journeying.
